What even is this genderlocked nonsense again?

[EdenElsewhere]

The "men only look good when they act and behave like manly men" people are here. I cannot poossibly rolls my eyes any further into the back of my head.

Missgendered? where did I when her voice sound like a male sorry

No, you didn't say 'sounds like a male', you said:

don't forget the male voice for a female character xx)

You knew what you were doing.

Again, would be nice to simply have masculine or feminine outfits we can put on any character, rather than being forced into a "worse" version of the outfit. If I want to dress a character in a masculine style, I don't want "feminine gear, but scribbled over." I would just put that character in something else.

[yesnt]

The pants are literally the entire problem.
I don't want awkward looking skinny slacks with a belt on them that look super close to a ton of things we already have access to, I want an interesting and unique piece of gear that happens to show off a little of my character's skin, this shouldn't be so hard.

This.

I personally don't care for male stockings (but I am also not against it), but these types of sets always look like they were done on a female character, then added some minor adjustments and slapped it on the male character --- and not in a good way!

Please, give us feminine and masculine options, make them both look EXCELLENT (and not slacks again) and let us pick what we want to wear regardless of sex. I am sure the design department would love to get this kind of creativity, stop minmaxing every minute of their working time and give them their artistic freedom to make some amazing art. Because in the end, that's also how you keep your employees sane, right!!

well I do say that when more then 50% of the game are catgirl it would be well kinda dum to do a set focused on male when female is 65% of the player base

And criticizing the quality is fine. "I have issues with the delivery of some line, the odd application of emotion in said delivery, the contrasting lack of emotion when it seemed appropriate, etc."

Misgendering the VA is not ok. MANY of the issues with the voice acting for Wuk Lamat should be levied on the producer in charge of voice acting for not accurately coaching the VA for how the line should be delivered, not the voice actor themselves. And this isn't just limited to Wuk Lamat, there have been many instances over the years of lines being delivered... in a very odd way.

Let's pretend you're a voice actor. If you are told the line is 'This is a tomato" and you deliver the line with mostly neutral inflection - cause y'know, it's a tomato... you see those everyday... - and then it turns out that when that line is to be played in the game the character you are voicing is going to be standing in front of a tomato that is 20 stories tall and should have been conveyed with absolute, unbridled shock and surprise, that is the fault of the producer for not properly guiding you, not yours as a voice actor.

And I'm going to leave it at that since this isn't the thread for it. Attire should not be genderlocked and both options should be available to both genders, and it's silly that they keep doing this after making so many improvements to past gear.

also welcome back I do presume you got banned for a week xx)

Thank you! That's very kind! How did you know I was banned?

I'm getting so tired of whichever designer at the ffxiv team has a vendetta against male thigh. It's more work to make two versions of the same bottoms, and nobody's happy with being unable to choose which they get. I know plenty of women who just want pants but keep getting shorts. Genuinely don't know why they're so insistent on gender locking new gear while simultaneously patting themselves on the back for unlocking old gear. The second thing's great, can we please stop doing the first one?

[CCheshire]

I see SE still allergic to giving men shorts, like 1 decade later, as they add more gender-locked clothing yet again in 2025.

you all know that the reason the genderlocking have been slowly remove is due to NA and they have to be careful to because in same country some of those neutral gear are actually illegal. so making everything to both gender could cause trouble in those country and in they'res to. as much as alot think it should be removed it is also a really loud minority that desire such there is thing I do agree should be unisex but not everything. so I think they are thinking about everyone overall they cannot please everyone either so just take it and ask for more neutral set instead. show picture of what could be done or set you would want to see instead.


Productivity and help would rather be better then right off complaining

So, in which country that men wearing shorts is it against the law again? No one would dare control what men wear vs what women wear, so I don't get it.
